Developing measurement technologies, control strategies, information systems, and manufacturing methods that achieve ambitious specifications at substantial production scale. Developing and implementing groundbreaking quality inspection tools to evaluate cosmetic and dimensional part characteristics. Compiling and evaluating data to determine appropriate limits and variables for process and part specifications. Leading activities to balance unparalleled quality with scalable yields. Collaborating with internal and external groups to ensure that proper definition of quality expectations and that appropriate assurance techniques are used for the product. Coordinating and prioritizing all Quality Engineering functions for multiple programs for team members. Expanding the capabilities of the team and recruiting new engineers. Establishing audit procedures appropriate to program and supplier to ensure alignment to Apple quality standards. Evaluating and communicating yields of new and existing processes. Driving corrective actions with internal and external team members. International travel required 15%. 40 hours/week.
